This week, Citrix Systems Inc. announced the completion of its acquisition of XenSource Inc., a privately held company in the hardware virtualization and virtual infrastructure space. Additionally, Citrix announced a line of products that completes an end-to-end virtualization offering from desktops to applications to servers. This news highlights the innovation driven by growing competition in the enterprise virtualization market, especially that resulting from the combination of XenSource's technology and Citrix's experience in the application space.

Other competitors include VMware, whose recent IPO was among the strongest offerings of the year, Microsoft, Sun, and SWSoft. The competitive landscape, however, is still heavily skewed towards VMware, which has translated its head start into a growing market share, and just reported 90% growth in sales last quarter, exceeding market expectations.

My upcoming article, part - 3 data center predictions for 2009, has a slideshot talking about the transition from the current age to the cloud computing age to eventually the ideation age- the age where you will have clouds that will emote but they will have no internal employees.

Biggest management disasters occur because internal folks are making a mess of the playground.

Om's blog is carrying an article about Cloud security and it is rather direct but also makes a lot of sense:

I don’t believe that clouds themselves will cause the security breaches and data theft they anticipate; in many ways, clouds will result in better security. Here’s why: Fewer humans –Most computer breaches are the result of human error; only 20-40 percent stem from technical malfunctions. Cloud operators that want to be profitable take humans out of the loop whenever possible.Better tools – Clouds can afford high-end data protection and security monitoring tools, as well as the experts to run them. I trust…
